Chapter 119 Summary

Kate is out of her coma and doing much better. Within ten days, Kate is walking with the aid of a walker. She has a half-moon indentation on the side of her forehead from the beating. She thinks it adds character and foregoes plastic surgery.

Cross spends the next month at home with his children, making a couple of trips to Durham to check on Kate. He worries that Casanova might hunt him down for killing Rudolph. Cross is pleased to see that no more women have been abducted in North Carolina. All local policemen, including Ruskin and Chief Hatfield have been investigated and cleared. Cross wonders where he could be hiding and how he could just stop killing. Nana Mama tells Cross he really needs to find a good wife and mother for his children.
